French Touch
For 17 years, Japan and Japanese culture fans have been getting together at Japan Expo. As part of them, a whole generation of artists and creators have decided to go through their passion, creating works that display a strong Japanese influence as well as their French roots.
This year, Japan Expo has wished to spotlight them and allow you to know more about those French artists steeped in Japanese pop culture through the French Touch theme.
The exhibit
This original exhibit presents a dozen French animators who now work inside Japanese animation studios, and about 20 French illustrators who have decided to turn to manga as a means of expression. Find out more about their career and major works.
At the heart of the exhibit, live drawing will be going on all 4 days of the festival: the French Touch artists attending Japan Expo will realize an artwork to show the talent of the French Touch.
